Patent EP-1194761-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JORNITZ MAIK W
IPC: G01N15/08
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Integritätsprüfung von Filtereinheiten mit hydrophoben Filtermaterialien mittels eines Wasserintrusionstests und eine Prüfeinrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens. Erfindungsgemäss genügt es, einen qualitativen Wasserintrusionstest durchzuführen, um unbrauchbare Filtereinheiten zu ermitteln. Dabei ist es nicht erforderlich, bei unbrauchbaren Filtereinheiten mit groben Defekten den gesamten Test bis zu Ende durchzuführen, da derartige Filtereinheiten bereits zu Beginn des Tests erkannt werden. Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren ist anwendbar zur Integritätsprüfung von Filtereinheiten mit kleiner Filterfläche, die in grosser Stückzahl einfach und routinemässig auf Integrität geprüft werden können, die beispielsweise in grösseren Stückzahlen für die Belüftung von Laborfermentern, Sterilisatoren, Lyophilisatoren, Steriltanks oder Kleingebinden, wie Glasflaschen oder zur Filtration hydrophober Flüssigkeiten benötigt werden.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize both good cooling
balance between two banks (2, 3) and good oil cooling performance, and
further reduce temperature difference between the banks. A cooling
system for a V-type engine according to the present invention causes the
cooling water supplied from a water pump (10) to be distributed to the
banks (2, 3) of the engine (1) after an oil cooler (15). The cooling water
prior to cooling the engine can cool the oil sufficiently, and the cooling water
after passing the oil cooler (15) is distributed to the banks (2, 3) equally so
that no temperature difference arises between the banks. A connection
tube (18) for communicating water jackets of the banks (2, 3) is integrally
formed with a housing member (20) mounted on an end of the engine in a
crankshaft direction. Since an existing flywheel housing (20) or the like is
utilized, a separate pipe is not necessary, and therefore easy layout and size
reduction are realized.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des éléments (14) de remplissage conçus pour un réservoir (12) de fluide combustible, formés avec une feuille de matériau métallique à maille par une technique de pliage multiple. Le procédé de pliage place les bords libres de la feuille au centre de l'élément de remplissage où ils sont protégés. En l'occurrence, toute pièce qui se casse est piégé audit centre. Les bords sont d'abord pliés vers l'intérieur, les extrémités étant ensuite pliés vers l'intérieur également. Enfin, cet élément plié intermédiaire est collé, formé, moulé ou plié selon la forme souhaitée pour l'élément de remplissage. Le pliage est facilité par l'utilisation d'un pli aplati le long des lignes de pliages souhaitées. Pour réduire l'imbrication des mailles, des sections variées du maillage correspondant aux lignes de pliage présentent des ouvertures de différentes tailles. Des éléments de remplissage variés qui ne sont pas formés avec une feuille peuvent également présenter des extrémités ou des bords libres enduits pour réduire 'l'écaillage'. Si on le souhaite, on peut également enduire l'extérieur des éléments de remplissage formés avec le matériau d'étanchéité thermiquement conducteur compatible avec les hydrocarbures.

Abstract: The invention aims to improve the positioning and levelling of bearings and installation components for subsequent floor construction in such a way, that the positioning process is simplified, whilst increasing the accuracy and simultaneously compensating for deviations in the shell assembly. To achieve this, a virtual reference plane (BE), formed by a reference frame (8) is mounted onto a bearing or reference surface (7) section by section, across the width of the vehicle. Said reference frame is used to locate the bearings (15, 16) in their exact position and to determine the level of their height (HN), in relation to the reference plane (BE). Their deviation is compensated by compensation elements (14) and the reference frame (8) is then placed in the next section. Bearing or reference surfaces (7) are mounted onto the longitudinal side-members (1) or side walls which run in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A reference frame (8) consisting of longitudinal struts (2, 3) and transverse struts (4, 5, 6) which extends over the sub-floor is fixed to said bearing or reference surfaces. The longitudinal struts and transverse struts (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) are configured as measuring rules for positioning the bearings (15, 16), as stops for said bearings in their final position and as a reference plane (BE) for determining the level of their height (HN).

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for improving speech quality in e.g. an IP-telephony system. The invention reduces audio artefacts being due to overrun or underrun in a playout buffer caused by the sampling rates at a sending and receiving side not being at the same rate. The inventive solution modifies an LPC-residual on a sample-by-sample basis. The LPC-residual block comprising N samples is converted to a block comprising N+1 or N-1 samples. A sample rate controller 400 decides whether samples should be added to or removed from the LPC-residual. The exact position where to add respective remove samples is either chosen arbitrarily or found by searching for low energy segments in the LPC-residual. A speech synthesiser module 430 then reproduces the speech. By using the proposed sample rate conversion method the playout buffer 440 can be continuously controlled. Furthermore, since the method works on a sample-by-sample basis the buffer can be kept to a minimum and hence no extra delay is introduced.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung zur Einstellung des Ausgangsmoments beziehungsweise der Ausgangsdrehzahl einer Brennkraftmaschine zum Schutz von Differentialgetrieben. Der Kern und Vorteil der Erfindung besteht in der Berechnung und Überwachung der Differenzgeschwindigkeiten bzw. der Differenzdrehzahlen in Querrichtung beliebiger Fahrzeuge (Front, Heck und Allrad) sowie die beim Allrad zusätzlich in Längsrichtung vorhandene Differenz der Kardangeschwindigkeiten. Bei Überschreiten vorgegebener Grenzwerte findet ein automatisches Reduzieren des Antriebsmoments bzw. eine automatische Begrenzung der Motordrehzahl auf ein verträgliches Mass statt. Diese Schutzfunktion für die Differentiale lässt sich nicht abschalten und ist auch bei passiv geschalteter Antriebsmomentenregelung AMR verfügbar. Sie ist lediglich durch Software unter Ausnutzung bereits vorhandener Sensoren und Stellereinrichtungen realisierbar. Der Applikationsaufwand ist minimal.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine, Z-engine. The compression part and the working part are separated. New gas is transported to the upper side of the piston. Below there is a small chamber corner. When the piston comes nearer the upper hollow part, the combustion gases go out from the cylinder through exhaust-valves. After the changing of the gas, before filling the upper chamber, there is a secondary compression, the firing of the mix, or fire. In advance of the compression can be other than the volume of the working pistons together. The side effect of the piston can be taken away by means of a double cam mechanism.
